the Wall Street Journal can be good on getting across the essentials of some dramatic science or math news.

 

this article is by Sharon Begley. It gives a good idea of the basic situation surrounding Perelman's proof of the Poincaré conjecture, without getting at all technical.

 

it is a great event of our time and is playing out in a curious eccentric slightly funnyt way, I hope that a lot of us know about it at least what is in this Sharon Begley article

 

thanks to John Baez for this link----it has more than the abridged version that went out on AP.
